Summon it over any app with ⌃Space. Talk to it hands-free. Message it from your phone. Hand it recurring jobs. Four front doors, one local model — no accounts, no cloud, no subscription.
Hit ⌃Space over any app — a browser, your editor, a full-screen game — and a prompt panel summons. Type the question; the answer streams in right there from your local model, no window shuffling. Follow-ups keep their context, ⌘↩ hands the whole thread to the chat window, and Esc dismisses while the reply quietly finishes into your sidebar.
No accessibility permissions, no setup dance — flip the toggle in the menu-bar tray and the hotkey is live.

Say "Hey Loki" and speak — speech recognition runs entirely on-device, so your audio never leaves the Mac and it works with no internet. Replies are spoken back; interrupt mid-answer just by talking (barge-in). Agent tools, thinking, and MCP all work by voice, straight from the menu bar with no window open.
Pair it with voice cloning and the reply voice can be one you made.

Make a bot in Telegram, paste its token, flip a switch — and message your local model from anywhere. No public URL, no port-forwarding, no cloud relay: the app long-polls over your normal connection, even behind home Wi-Fi. Turn on Agent mode and it can run tools, read and write files (confined to a workspace folder), and schedule tasks — from your phone.
The bot locks to the first chat that messages it, so no one else can drive your Mac.

Hand the agent a goal and a schedule in plain English — "weekdays at 8am, check my watched sites and write me a briefing" — and it runs unattended, window closed, with a saved transcript and any produced files kept per run. One-tap presets or full cron expressions, your call.
You decide how much it can do: pick an autonomy level per task (Read-only → YOLO); anything beyond it pauses and sends an Approve/Deny notification you can answer from Notification Center — and the run picks up where it left off, even after a restart.

An assistant that listens for a wake word, reads your screen questions, and runs your errands is exactly the thing you don't want metered by tokens or streamed to someone's cloud. On your own hardware, "always on" costs nothing and leaks nothing.
Yes — the panel floats over any Space or full-screen app, without stealing focus from what you were doing. One heads-up: if you use multiple input sources, macOS may already reserve ⌃Space for input-source switching; free it in System Settings → Keyboard and the launcher takes over.
Yes — recognition uses Apple's on-device speech engine, so it works with no internet and the audio never leaves the Mac. The wake word, the transcription, and the model's reply are all local.
Your messages transit Telegram like any Telegram chat — but the model, your files, and the tools all stay on your Mac; there's no third-party AI service in the loop and no public endpoint exposed on your network. The bot answers only its locked chat. For fully-local interaction, use the launcher or Voice Mode.
It pauses. Each task has an autonomy level, and anything beyond it fires an Approve/Deny notification; the run resumes where it stopped once you answer — even across an app restart. Every run keeps a full transcript you can audit.
Download MLX Core and give yourself an assistant that's actually always on — because it's not billing you by the minute.
